Arsenal defender Thomas Cruise has declared he is prepared to leave the Emirates on loan to gain first team experience.
Cruise, 19, has made just a solitary appearance for Arsene Wenger's side so far in a Champions League group game against Olympiakos last December.
Cruise was a part of the England U19 squad that reached the semi-finals of the 2010 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship and is now ready to prove his credentials at club level, but has come to the realisation that a season away from the Emirates may currently be the best way to achieve this at this early stage of his career
He recently told the club's official website: "I'd like to go out on loan this season and get experience, something which would be a big benefit for me.
"If the chance arises, I'd like to move to a team that likes to play a good passing game. Also, as well as defence, I'd like to play in midfield where you see a lot of the ball and are more involved.
"Obviously I'd like to get into the Carling Cup squad but if I don't get that chance, I'll happily go on loan.
"Then hopefully when I come back I could get involved in the first team. But I haven't spoken to the manager yet."
